More and more people are becoming seriously overweight. Some people say that increasing the price of fattening foods will solve this problem. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

.

Furthermore

, regular health updates need to be readily available to individuals, as well as making work spaces exercise friendly. Apart from unhealthy diets, an inactive lifestyle contributes enormously to individuals becoming overweight. Due to lack of time, and

resources, people are left with no choice but to be inactive. It is essential that

government legislates

the government legislates

to include at least 15 minutes each day during the work hours for individuals to exercise.

Nonetheless

, even if

such

legislations are made and passed, it is essential that school children are made aware of the importance of exercise and its benefits for the body and the mind. Exercise should be made mandatory. Once children internalise the need to be fit, they will make an active effort to avoid products that are harmful for their health.

Therefore

, In conclusion, there must need efforts made by the government to promote healthy lifestyle. Increase in prices of foods will not deter people from consuming

such

foods.
